The Song is You: Jerome Kern Coast to Coast

Sorry!

With Show Boat, Jerome Kern invented the modern musical.

The greatest songwriters revered him. And his songs—from “All the Things You Are” to “The Way You Look Tonight”—remain a vital part of our cultural conversation. It is no accident that Jerome Kern is “The Dean.”

The May 4 evening performance is underwritten by The Henry Nias Foundation, courtesy of Dr. Stanley Edelman. The May 5 evening performance is underwritten by the Estate of Sanford Goldstein, in memory of Harold W. and Ida L. Goldstein.

A Note from the Artistic Director

They called him “The Dean.” He was the oracle of the idols of the American Songbook. A teenage George Gershwin, listening to the band at his aunt’s wedding, heard Jerome Kern’s music for the first time and stopped dead as his whole world changed. Because Kern, it can be argued, invented the American Songbook. Or at the very least, in the early part of the 20th century, when “musicals” mostly meant imported European operetta, Kern evolved a new sound—a fresh, melodically sophisticated, uniquely American sound; the sound of American popular music as it would rule until the arrival of rock and roll. He penned some 700 songs, including numerous standards, from “All the Things You Are” to “Bill.” Along the way, he revolutionized the American musical theatre not once but twice.

Jerome David Kern was born January 27, 1885 (three years before Irving Berlin, 13 before George Gershwin). Unlike many pioneers of the American Songbook, Kern didn’t grow up the stickball-playing child of struggling immigrants. He was raised in middle class comfort on the Upper East Side and in Newark, NJ, the son of Henry Kern, a German-born businessman, and American Fanny Kakeles Kern, who taught him the piano. He was one of seven boys—only three of whom survived childhood. “Romie” studied music in New York and Heidelberg. Along with contributing early songs to London shows, he made his name writing new songs for British exports to Broadway.

Throughout his career, Kern almost always conceived his work as part of a larger musical project and rarely set out to write a pop song for its own sake. (“The Last Time I Saw Paris” is an exception.) He wrote by immersing himself in circumstance and character; he famously referred to himself as “a musical clothier—nothing more or less.”

With librettist Guy Bolton and lyricist P. G. Wodehouse, his revolutionary approach for a series of low-budget WWI-era shows for the Princess Theatre electrified Broadway and a generation of youths, including Richard Rodgers, E. Y. “Yip” Harburg, George and Ira Gershwin, and others who saw reigning Ruritanian operetta and Ziegfeld-esque extravaganza replaced by modern, smart, naturalistic melding of story and song, and the jazz-flavored beginnings of the classic Broadway show tune. By 1927, audiences saw Kern’s vision (in collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein, II) of Edna Ferber’s novel Show Boat as a serious-themed powerhouse of Broadway storytelling—paving the way for everything from the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon to Fiddler on the Roof and Next to Normal.

A personality of wild paradoxes (austere, but a rabid practical joker; a lavish collector of rare books and antiques, but penny pinching in business), he spent his later years in Hollywood with collaborators like Dorothy Fields (Swing Time, winning an Oscar for “The Way You Look Tonight”) and Ira Gershwin (Cover Girl). Earlier collaborators had included Anne Caldwell and Otto Harbach. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1946, at age 60, while in New York. He was outlining (with Dorothy Fields) a new musical about Annie Oakley, to star Ethel Merman.
